ANTMINER S4+ Discussion and Support Thread

Sooo...

3.9 BTC for something that will never mine 3.9 BTC back and will consume 1480w 24/7 (hundreds of $$$)


Is Bitmain high or something ?



Did i miss something ?

[hmkey]

It will take about a year I guess, to mine 3.9BTC with the S4+.
Could be a bit earlyer but I guess about 10 months.
It's up to you and me if we going to take the gamble if we think the price will gain alot or not.

My Bitmain Antminer S4+ rebooted and now shows a solid red light only on the front. What does this mean? Solution?

LED codes:

  - The green LED will flash when mining, and the red LED will remain on while in an error or overheat state.[/td][td]  - Download firmware as above. Navigate to System -> Upgrade and click
"browse". Select the downloaded file and click "Flash image". Do NOT
interrupt this process or you will brick the unit.

Is it possible your unit overheated?

You won't make it if you factor electricity cost and all the work you'll put into this crap.

Just buy 3.9BTC with the money you are going to spend on that machien and hold these BTC. You'll end up with more BTC (3.9 instead of 1,2 or maybe 3).

@MidwestMiner,

Can you open the top cover and video record how all the LEDs are acting to include the blue Beagle Bone led and ethernet port LED?

Red LED indicate, the system detected an error. 

Please go to the System Log/Kernel Log and see if you can grab that data.

I so not have physical access but it seems a hard reboot and factory reset solved it. Probably was a overheat. If I experience further issues i ll make sure to get pictures etc.

saw the reaction of the members of this forum and people who have experience in the mining, regarding this new product S4 + .. it is a great disappointment for most part of them !!
for me this new product only slows the progress of Bitcoin and minors .. UNFORTUNATELY

You are missing a huge jump for Bitmain.  They went to the 220/240.  This is HUGE as far as future designs.

If they don't lock all miners to the 110/120  it opens the door to much bigger miners.

[supertee]

I am curious about it, so I'll get one soon. Looking forward to test it... Not sure if it's as bad as everyone thinks, used in the right environment.

I am hearing the S4+ hangs at reboot like the C1 did. Can anyone Document this? is there anyone that has seen this?

Not seen it on my unit, seems to reboot fine via software. Did it about 20x while testing. Possibly its because its constant voltage while the [most] C1's aren't?

[philipma1957]

A question or two.

  First any coupons on these?
Second what does an underclock get you?

Does anyone try this at 2200gh or 2300gh?

[Evan]

@BitmainTech

I am working with a MFG. to build a Water cooling block for myself, and a Friend.

Can I PLEASE have the specifications for spacing and Attachment points for the S4+

(if it helps, If this works I'll be buying 3 more units, and my Friend will be purchasing 20 more units)

And I would be more than willing to give you a sample of the watercooling block once they are made.
